The Esper Devil ( Esper OC X Highschool DxD )

Chapter 41 - Not enemies, neither friends

We decided it would be for the best if just Ayumu and I went to the Gremory's house, the way things are, involving Liliana and the others would make it even more of a troublesome situation.

And well... it's not like anything that happened was her fault anyway...

"Hey, Tachan, what kind of demon is this Rias Gremory? You told me she's the sister of the Maou, but how is she like?"

Ayumu asks, I look at her for a while thinking on how to answer

"Well, if it's about personality, she's definitely what you'd expect from a demon princess, she acts dignified, classy and all that, but she's also a good person, her followers too"

After all, they did forgave me pretty quickly for almost killing them...

Ayumu raises an eyebrow

"Followers? You mean, like Liliana's servants?"

I nod

"Yeah, you were told about the evil pieces, right? Apparently every high-class devil gets a set of them, they can use that to transform any creature into a devil, so they build peerages like that."

After I lay the information to Ayumu, her eyes grow huge and she nervously states

"Wait, are there more espers in here?!"

I shake my head, reassuring her

"No, no, apparently Liliana is the only devil who actually has information about espers. Even the other devils don't know her servants are espers."

Ayumu sighs in relieve, yet a troubled expression emerges on her face right after

"That's good, but... it's still weird, right? How she kept this a secret from everyone and how did she manage to find espers in the first place? Also, this evil piece thing is kinda dangerous, how the hell didn't we get a hold of this information untill now?"

I scratch my cheek

"No idea... hope we can find out what's going on. But I think we have to solve this first."

"Yeah, this is going to be a headache"

Ayumu nods and we keep looking at the GPS to see if we are heading for the right location

"Are we close?"

She asks and I nod

"Yeah, we should be, Rias said her house was around this street, said it would be unmistakable"

"Uh, what does she mean? She didn't gave any description other than that?"

"Y-yeah, she didn't..."

I look around for a while and just as we turn around a corner, I answer her

"Hey... Ayumu, I think she meant... that"

Ayumu slowly looks up from the GPS to where I am pointing

"Uh, what did sh- WHAT THE HELL?"

She shouts, looking in shock at what stands in front of us

The street has a row filled with average sized buildings, except for one

"D-does no one else sees this?" - I ask bewildered

A huge european style house with more than five floors towers over the other buildings, occuppying a land that could easily fit the width of three houses. It contrasts way too much with everything else in the entire neighborhood, no, maybe in the entire town. Well, I guess it fits with what a devil princess house should be like, even if they could have chosen a way better place to fit it.
